Monday Morning Motivation

Several weeks ago I watched "The Sixth Sense". I love that movie. The twists and turns the surprise ending. And that adorable little boy, what an amazing actor, and who doesn't like Bruce Willis:-)

The little boy did not share much in regard to his thoughts and feelings. He kept them hidden. He kept his pain hidden. I loved his relationship with his mom.

He loved her deeply and could read her. At one point he asked her why she was so sad, her reply "What makes you think I'm sad", Cole's reply "Your eyes told me". I think some of us would love for someone to care so deeply about us that they could see through our facade and see our pain. That they could look in our eyes and read what is behind our smile, our mask. Well there is someone:-) God. He sees our pain, he sees our loneliness, he sees our confusion, he sees our guilt, he sees our fear, he sees our utter devastation. And guess what? He loves us! (I do wish he would make physical appearances so we could get a smile and a hug. A word of encouragement. But I guess that is one way we can be his servants, to give a smile and a hug and a word of encouragement to those we encounter, you never know who really needs it)

I bought the Nikon Coolpix P510 because it is described as a "bridge camera". To me that means I can do a bit more manually then with my old point and shoot. I decided it was high time to get started in my attempt to understand more about digital photography. I went to a beginners class on Saturday to begin my adventure with my focus being on Aperture and Shutter Speed. I will start with Aperture. I find the f# confusing because in my mind they are backwards but I will have to get over it:-)
First off what is the definition of aperture? Here is what Destination Scuba has to say about it...

Aperture

It is indicated by f stop numbers f1.4, f2, f2.8, f5.6 and so on.
Just to confuse us – the larger the aperture the smaller the f stop number f22 is a very small aperture, f5.6 is big.
This is the control of how much light reaches the image sensor in the camera and has a direct relation to shutter speed.Generally the larger the aperture the fa…

My Mom used to make the most amazing Banana Nut Bread. Moist and yummy. Sadly I do not have her recipe. Over the years I have tried to find one that was equal but have not been 100% successful. I did find a close second though. Hawaiian Banana Nut Bread from Southern Living. I will not give it a 10 on my cooking scale but we have made it a lot and it never goes to waste so I will give it an 8.5/10 on my scale. Its very good:-) I gathered my ingredients..... Ingredients:

Combine first five ingredients; stir in nuts.Combine remaining ingredients; add to flour mixture, stirring just until dry ingredients are moistened.Spoon batter into two greased and floured 8 1/2 x 41/2 x 3 loaf pans.Bake at 350 degrees for one ho…

While traveling with the Road Scholars in NY I had the opportunity to see several wonderful wineries. Among them was Dr. Frank's Winery.(Quotes from their website will be in italics) "Dr. Konstantin Frank ignited the “Vinifera Revolution” a movement that forever changed the course of wine growing in the Finger Lakes and the United States."First off, what is Vinifera? I consulted Google and found this definition...a common European grape (Vitis vinifera) that is the chief source of Old World wine and table grape varieties"In 1962, merely a decade after arriving in America, Dr. Frank founded Vinifera Wine Cellars. The winery quickly earned a reputation for spectacular Rieslings and its original planting of vines formed the backbone of New York’s world-class wines and champagnes."

The drive that day was lovely. Blue skies and grape vines. Nothing could make it better then a good glass of wine. And believe me, I did indulge in a good glass of wine and was not d…
